Volume 1: The Wind and the Smoke Rise, Chapter 15

I stared at the red fern and drank the medicine, and after returning to the room, I drew a horizontal line on the paper again, and watched another "positive" word make up. I consoled myself that it was okay, there were only two straight words.

A flash flashed through my mind. Honghui is sick, and without the people who King Li is staring at me, it will be much easier for me to move. I opened the closet and found a maroon dress inside. I changed into my clothes, blew out the lights, and got ready to go out for a walk.

I didn't go out of the vicinity of Fangfeiyuan, but made a detour back to the Huanyi Bureau. It's been a long time since I've climbed over the wall, and I'm a little rusty with my feet.

When I came to the back alley of Zuisheng Building, I heard that the front seemed to be different from the previous extraordinarily lively. Curious, I didn't climb the wall, but went straight to the front.

The red light is still hanging high in front of the drunken building, and it is very lively. However, in the past, the soft laughter of the woman could be heard from afar, but now only the intermittent cheers were heard. I haven't seen any men and women hugging each other today, and it's rare to see Yan Thin and Fat at the door. Could it be that the land of fireworks has become a teahouse from Liang?

As soon as I entered, I ran into an acquaintance. This acquaintance, as always, is hiding when he sees me. I stopped her with a smile, "Mom, how are you doing?"

"Thanks to the great immortals, it's very good!" Ning Cui really shows what it means to laugh and cry is more ugly than crying.

She pulled me upstairs, "Daxian, didn't you go with Lord Yan?" Why did you come back again?"

"Lord Yan, there is a lot of righteousness, but unfortunately the yang qi is slightly lacking. I was thinking of making do with sucking house slaves, but their yang energy was too cloudy. Come to think of it, it's still Mom, you're here after all, it's superior. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, I really practiced the ability to lie in this drunken building, "When you just pulled me up, I saw how I set up a platform today?" What new ways do you always come up with to make money?"

"No, no. Today, it's the usual choice of Oiran. No, everyone is here to cheer. Ning Cui explained.

I looked down and played with my nails, closed, I came in vain today. When anyone comes to see the Oiran, what national affairs will they talk about? I finally turned it out, and I went back like this, and it was not worth it! "That's it, I don't want to inhale yang qi today, you must be short of manpower today, let me help."

Ning Cui shirked with a face, "Where do you dare to bother Daxian." ”

She wanted me to go, but she didn't dare to go against my will too much. He still went to help me find a new set of clothes, after all, the clothes on my body are a little gray and not very festive.

Ning Cui brought a few girls in, and they helped me pull a double bun. I was just getting ready for bed, so I put my hair down and didn't worry about going out. Ning Cui helped me prepare a soft silver light lily skirt. After I changed my clothes, I looked at myself in the mirror for a while. It's been a long time since I've dressed up. Ning Cui also looked at me in the mirror, and after a long time, she said, "Great Immortal, are you willing to participate in the selection of Oiran." ”

I didn't answer her, but said, "I've already dressed up, and I won't lose my drunken face. If there is anything to bring tea and water, my mother just orders. ”

I refused, and Ning Cui didn't say anything more. I went downstairs with her, and then I saw the pomp and circumstance in the building.

There are no lanterns hanging high in the building like outside, only a few are lit slightly, which makes the stage particularly eye-catching. The musicians in the building were playing the flute, and a woman in Tsing Yi was playing the pipa and singing softly, her voice was so soft that it gave me goosebumps, but the men in the audience couldn't stop saliva.

I leaned on the railing and watched the performance intently, when Ning Cui suddenly bumped me with her elbow, "Daxian, look at the second floor." ”

I looked up, it was a little dark, I couldn't see clearly, and there were so many guards standing that I couldn't tell who was sitting at all. "Look at this posture is not small, this kind of day can actually charter the second floor seat, Mom, who is that?"

Ning Cui continued: "There are people sitting there, but we can't afford to mess with them. Just now, the little girl said that one of the main tempers there is not small. It's time for Daxian to take care of the guests there. ”

I tried to look, but there were still a few blurry figures. However, these vague figures are inexplicably a little familiar.

I took the flask that Ning Cui had given me. No matter what, the person who can't afford to offend should be the big official in Jinling City, maybe he will hear some useful news.

Thinking of the news, Chu Yi still owes me two questions that have not been answered, and I don't know if his own problems have been solved. As I walked, I thought I had already reached the second floor.

As soon as he got closer, he was stopped by a guard. I said softly, "Mom asked the slave to bring wine to the masters. I picked up the flask and shook it, so that the man could reassure me to pass.

I approached, and by the faint candlelight, I could see clearly that the person sitting on the right was actually Chu Yi. Hmph, I'm still worried about him every day, but I'm here to spend time drinking.

My second instinct to recognize him was to run away, I must not let him know that I am here, otherwise how can I explain it? But now it was completely too late, and the guards around me were staring, and I suddenly turned back, estimating that the movement was even louder.

I decided to deceive myself, anyway, it's darker now, Chu Yi's attention is on the beauty downstairs, you shouldn't notice me, yes, you can't notice!

I lowered my head and filled the glass on my left. I'm curious about who the person who can sit on Chu Yi's left is, this figure doesn't seem to be Chu Hao, but besides Chu Hao, who has this status? I'm curious, but I know what matters.

I poured a full bottle of wine and was ready to go around to the right. When I saw the man on the left stretching out his hand, he seemed to want to take the wine, and I pushed the glass to him by magic. Unexpectedly, he suddenly grabbed my wrist.

Looking at the way he was sitting, I thought he was a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be a prodigal son. I suppressed my temper and said, "Master, please let go of your hand." The slave is just a rough maid in the building. "I don't dare to use force, there are so many people here, I can't beat them. I tried to break free from his grasp, but I couldn't. This person's hand strength is also surprisingly large, and he should also be a practitioner.

I had no choice but to look up to Chu Yi for help, he also happened to look this side, he frowned slightly and said: "Childe, is there anything about this girl who is not thoughtful, just leave it to the building to solve it yourself, why do you need to deal with it yourself?"
